Item 1.   Security and Issuer
          
     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of 

Lin Television Corporation is being filed on behalf of the under-

signed to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D")

which was originally filed January 2, 1998. Unless otherwise

indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined

herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule

13D.


Item 2.   Identity and Background
          This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly con-
trols or for which he acts as chief investment officer.  These enti-
ties, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker Industries,
Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico Telephone Company
("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"),  Lynch Telecom-
munications Corporation ("Lynch Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation
("Lynch Telephone") and Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-
Community") (collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in
various aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment
adviser to various institutional and individual clients, including
registered investment companies and pension plans, as broker/dealer
and as general partner of various private investment partnerships. 
Certain of these entities may also make investments for their own
accounts. 
          The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficial-
ly more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular
issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as
institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial
ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do
not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold
presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their
investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could
be viewed as not completely passive.  In order to avoid any question
as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the
proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and
administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file their
beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form
rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more
expansive disclosure than may be necessary. 
          (a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or
more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"), GAMCO
Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"), Gabelli &

L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli Associates Fund ("Gabelli As-
sociates"), Gabelli Associates Limited ("GAL"), Gabelli & Company,
Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), Gabelli International Limited
("GIL"), Gabelli International II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli Interna-
tional Gold Fund Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"),

tion"), Mr. Gabelli, Lynch, Spinnaker, Western New Mexico, Entoleter,

special circumstances that arose from their affiliation with Lynch
Corporation, a public company.  To resolve this matter, Gabelli &
Company and GAMCO agreed to cease and desist from violating Section

tively.  They further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in the amount

policies and procedures.

its sole discretion the entire voting power with respect to the shares
held by each such Fund, until its proxy committee determines otherwise
